Robert,

I see you have gotten lots of opinions. Let me add another, it is a real simple dictum - you must smoke what you like and enjoy it.

Now, to do this, you need to try different cigars to find out what you like. That's where the slope gets slippery.

Personally, I have enjoyed a good many CCs. I have also enjoyed a good many NCs.

I must say that in my personal taste preference profile, there is room for both. Although, I must say that NCs by far outnumber my CCs.

It ends once you smoke a Cuban

But that's the trap, because it just starts another slope

CC's are a slope I am trying to avoid for now. I hear they are a fuller bodied and stronger (more nicotine) cigar than NC's, but I am sure that depends on the NC also. For now I'll stick to one slope.

That's subjective, too. On the whole, I haven't found a single Cuban cigar with nearly the nicotine punch of a stronger non-Cuban. They do make mild Cubans, you know *wink wink*

yeah im still getting the feel for NC but i feel my self getting pulled over to the dark side

It all comes down to tasticity. It is that simple.

What is "tasticity"? It is a word I just made up.

From a collecting standpoint CC's are it. The marcas have largely remained the same and they are dated unlike most NC's. NC's it seems that every few weeks a new and exciting brand comes out... only to fade away. It also seems that if a good stick does come out the hype is so huge that the price skyrockets and the quality plummets.

CC's aren't fancy for the most part. You get a very nice stick for 3-4 dollars. Many of the 3 dollars CC's are better than a 10 dollar NC. But the 10 dollar NC is still very nice.

common misconception

i should add... some do cost more, some cost a LOT more... but most are comprable to NC pricing

01-05-2009, 07:10 PM

ok thanks MD i have seen some crazy prices on CC and NC

01-05-2009, 07:10 PM

Since CC's are not legal here in the states all these comments from US members are only opinions based no no actual fact.

mojo65 · 01-05-2009, 07:12 PM

I think part of the CC thing is the "FORBIDDEN FRUIT" aspect too. THEY say I cant have it so I want it more.

Of course, Moe. We never doubted your respect for the law. As for me, I don't actually *buy* them. That's technically illegal, even overseas, so I'm lucky to have many friends in foreign places who offer me cigars that I couldn't legally buy.
